Shia LaBeouf is raising eyebrows again – the actor has been arrested for disrupting a Broadway musical, according to reports.

The actor was allegedly smoking inside the theatre during a performance of Cabaret, and behaving in a disruptive fashion during the first act.

New York Police spokesman George Tsourovakas told CBS News: ‘He was being rather difficult and combative, verbally…to the point where security guards asked him to please leave the premises and he refused.’

The actor was handcuffed and escorted out during the interval, and was later charged with two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of criminal trespassing.

Composer Benj Pasek tweeted that he saw the Transformers star outside the Studio 54 theatre in New York after the incident, crying.

‘Just saw Shia LaBeouf in handcuffs in tears surrounded by 6 police officers outside of CABARET the musical. Oh New York, u is a crazy b***h.’
